The twisted tale of Amanda Knox is now streaming only on Disney Plus.
Well, Fager Parks has finally graced our screens again.
I was locked in for the last five minutes of the episode,
and every single time that they teased it throughout this episode.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah.
Just get to the episode.
Brows and shows.
I gotta have me my pros and shows.

My Bros and Shores
Good afternoon, everybody.
Welcome back to another episode
of Bros. and Shows.
I'm your co-host, Steel Russell,
joined as always by the one and only
Goots McGillicuddy.
What's up, dude?
Not a whole lot.
Nice long weekends.
You know, they say nice, long weekends
are usually relaxing.
I don't get it.
Well, that's because
you choose to not relax.
You choose to...
So you're going to give you four days off
and I'm just going to like relax.
No.
No, I'm going to crack a beer the minute I wake up, and I'll stop on, when do you stop Monday?
Monday.
Did you stop Monday?
You drank on Monday.
I had to.
Yeah, it's four-day weekend rules.
I get it.
I had a relaxing weekend.
Just nice and easy.
I got my garden ready to go.
I got berries.
I got strawberries.
Blueberries.
Raspberrys.
She wasn't sick this weekend, but yeah, poor thing.
She's got a cough right now, and she's still so happy all the time.
What a trooper.
So hopefully she...
We can all learn something.
What?
For being sick?
Being a trooper, being sick.
Oh, yeah, for being so tough, totally.
100%.
I was like, what?
Learn how to get sick?
I was like, what are you talking about?
She's been a rock star, but hopefully she gets over it soon.
But, yeah, other than that, it was a lovely weekend.
And I will say, when we take off, like, what do we take off four days?
I guess, yeah.
It feels like we haven't recorded in a month.
Yeah, I know.
This is going to be shaking off the cobwebs.
Yeah, we're getting the rust.
off a little bit. So just bear with us, right? Stop being so critical. So if we just
stop talking in the middle of a sentence, there's nothing wrong with your radio. We just
forgot what we were going to say. Well, you won't even know because I'm going to cut that part
out. So you won't know that we're having hiccups the whole time. Unless you need to shake off
the cobwebs with editing, then they will know. Yeah, because I'm going to send this to our
editor. So there you go. Love when Pete didn't have a long weekend. People call out
editing moments. They're like, yeah, the podcast is good, but these guys can't edit. It's like,
I never claimed I could.
I'd do my best.
But you can tell if it's me or our editor doing it.
If it sounds really well done, not me.
But let's talk about Atlanta.
I really like this episode.
I like the way that the show's going.
I think that this season overall has been solid.
And that's all I really needed.
I needed a solid season.
I didn't need an outstanding.
Yeah.
I didn't need bad.
I needed solid to show me that this cast that they put together in the interim,
because we know it's a shakeup, is just solid.
I think we've gotten a lot of good episodes, and we've gotten a lot of, okay, fine episodes.
I'm cool with this, yeah.
We haven't gotten anything that's really bad.
Even the episodes that we could go back and look at the season and say, yeah, that was kind of boring.
Last week was probably the most down.
Yeah, it's just like, yeah, well, not a lot to see here.
We'll just keep it moving.
Yeah, but no major snafu is with it.
But let's get into this episode.
And we start out with Shamiya and Kelly Poolside.
These two have really gotten a little nice friendship.
ship together.
Besties?
Yeah.
That's what Shimea said.
Yeah.
It's going up what she said.
Oh, okay, cool.
Yeah.
I have a question about this, though.
Okay.
Well, how do they figure out who hosts the trips?
I don't know.
I feel like Bravo has to put that one for it.
So I, like, can kind of get it, you know, you take turns here and there.
If somebody has a good idea, or maybe the producers just like tap in and say, hey,
Shamia, we want you to host this trip.
This is where you're going.
Make it seem like it's your idea.
Whatever.
When they start co-hosting trips, that's what I get really confused.
Me too.
How did we figure this out?
It always makes me laugh.
I'm still stuck on the first step.
How are we over here?
The other part is like, what does that entail?
Nothing.
Yeah, you know, like, you want to host it with me?
Half the time, those people don't even get the best rooms.
No.
No, they end up giving the rooms to somebody else.
But I never understood the co-hosting thing.
Yeah.
Like, why don't we have to have it so formal?
Why isn't it just like, just be real with us?
Hey, Bravo is sending us to Granada.
I think Grenada.
I always thought it was Granada.
I thought they were saying it wrong the whole time.
Oh, boy, here we go.
I don't know.
now you've broken my brain.
That's Granada.
Yeah, somebody correct us.
You go anyway without us asking.
Is that in the Beach Boys song?
Do they go to Granada in that?
Bermuda, Bahama, come on, pretty mama.
Delago, Montego, baby, why don't we go?
No, no.
Grenada.
It's actually just one song about Grenada.
Grenada, Grenada, Grenada, Grenada.
How do you say Granada?
It's a pretty good song.
Thank you.
It's a jam.
Yeah, I would bop to do that.
Almost as good as Shamiya's Titty song.
Not quite as good.
But that was the best.
That was so funny.
I complain about people singing.
That was the best.
She, look, she is a very bright spot in this season.
She is an outstanding housewife.
She's got great one-liners, great confessionals.
She's good at keeping the group together, but not afraid to mix it up and say how she really feels.
With Portia, we saw that and put her foot down.
I think Shami has done an outstanding job.
Definitely.
He deserves a big gold star.
But let's start talking about Shemia and Kelly.
They're talking about the vacation.
We had to watch Shemia try to guess where they're going.
That was a blast.
But then we FaceTime Randy.
Randall, aka Randy.
5-9 and boys he fine.
Hey, over 5-9 and boys he fine.
It was also...
Does that mean 5-10?
It means he's not 5-9.
It means he's over 5-9.
You can take that however you want.
Usually it's like, you know, if you say, I'm top three,
it means you're three.
Yeah.
So maybe five, nine and a half.
Yeah.
But he hits the minimum, maximum, minimum.
Minimum.
That's all you need.
I thought it was really funny, though.
Randall down in Grenada gets a face time from two women in their swimsuits.
He's probably like, come on down.
I've got the best rooms for you.
But anyway, Kelly's got her divorce date coming up, so she's getting a little anxious,
or so he's probably going to lean on Shemia a bit more.
We haven't heard, we heard the setup for this, obviously.
We haven't heard about the divorce in a while.
But we do know it's very contentious.
Her ex seems like a huge asshole.
So I'm wondering if we'll get more if this is a setup scene.
That's what we're going to talk about with her storyline towards the second half.
Kelly's interesting, though, because I feel like her role in this cast is she's pretty much the bright spot.
Neutral.
It doesn't really seem to have problems with anybody.
When she does have a problem with somebody, I'm caught off guard because I didn't catch it because it just seems like she's so bubbly and out there.
I have no problems with her, and I also don't really think that she needs that much of a storyline.
I don't, she's perfect for she does.
She's fine.
She's just great.
I think she's been great, especially considering she's a newbie.
I think she's done an outstanding job, too.
And you're right.
She's kind of played this neutral role,
but has this weird ability to call people out.
Yeah.
But not really call them out.
So she doesn't put herself in a bad spot.
It's one of those things where we complain about people not having their own
storylines and just getting mixed up in others.
She's somebody who does it well enough where she gets mixed up in other situation.
She got Nana's chicken and waffles, too.
She does, yes.
But she doesn't really need.
a standalone storyline.
Now, obviously, you know, she's not getting a divorce for the storyline.
No.
That would be crazy.
That would be ludicrous.
There's got to be a houseway.
That would be ridiculous.
Like, push their divorce to make sure.
Sure.
There's probably multiple.
Ashley Darby, actually.
Yeah, there you go.
Six seasons.
Eight seasons.
But we move on from there and we get Portia and Miss Diane and Porsche's sister.
They're going house shopping.
She's just trying to set herself up, I think, for post-divorce.
That's what she's saying, I don't want to wait.
you know,
chewing my fingernails as I wait for the judge to make a decision.
So I'm going to have something set up.
That house was sick.
Yeah.
I don't know if she's actually considering that house or if she's just like doing this
with the show.
But the house is amazing.
She should get that house.
Definitely.
When I heard two-story great room, I'm like, well, fuck yeah.
I didn't even know that was the thing.
Lock me in.
Yeah, I'm down.
I was looking for the steps.
I don't think it's like you can go upstairs in the great room.
Oh, it's just two stories high.
I think it's two stories high.
The ceilings.
Yeah.
So they're talking about about that.
Yeah.
That's a bummer.
Yeah.
That's what, hey, something to shoot for, you know?
A great, two-story, great-room.
I like those.
Or you come, like, the balcony, the overseeing balcony.
You know what I really like?
Then make it into a library and they get one of those ladders that swirls around.
You know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, but that's a library, not a great room.
What were we talking about?
Great library.
Hey-oh.
But the whole point is that after her first marriage, she gave up everything because she wanted
to go the amicable route.
She didn't want to cause a scene.
She just wanted to get in, get out.
So this time she's protecting yourself, so it's going to be a much harder fight for sure.
But Grenada, Granada comes up, and we get a Shamea update.
And she's like, I think we're good.
As we know, they are currently not good.
Yes.
So we saw the conversation last week.
I thought that Portia was just trying to hurry things along with the agreement there.
But they're cool now.
They're cool.
They both have come away from this saying that they've squashed it.
Right.
So I'm confused.
So I guess my question is...
I get squashed from last week.
I got a hurry along, like you feel.
The other part is, if they are okay, I don't think they are.
I think that the split's going to boil over from that conversation not being over.
Yeah.
If that's not the case, are we going to see something else happen between these two?
And it also obviously got a lot murkier, too, because they're talking about...
I forget who was talking last week, about how their moms also don't like each other?
Yeah, they don't like each other at all.
You can tell in this scene that Porsche's mom's still like, hmm, she's like...
She's like, man.
Yeah.
I don't want to talk about her.
I can see where you're coming from.
I get it.
That's the vibe with her mom.
Like, oh, God.
Yeah, seriously.
And that's when, you know, Portia's telling her that.
Yeah.
Like, that's the weirdest part to me.
She's like, yeah, my mom hates you.
It's like, don't tell her.
Just keep that to yourself.
Yeah, very bizarre.
But we move on to Shamia, and she's on DJ Jazzy McBee in Atlanta.
And they're talking about her new single coming out.
And she takes the opportunity.
Love, love the move.
Great move.
I didn't expect it to shit on Drew.
Yeah.
Because she brings up Drew's music.
Well, they bring up Drew's music.
And she's like, well, yeah, but haven't heard her on this station before.
It's like, damn.
Then she doubles down.
It's like when you start a song with, I got five different languages, but they don't actually
speak five different languages.
Like, damn, double down.
So she starts taking Drew to task, and then she goes even further and calls her, she says, like,
biach as she gets up from the thing.
So I'm psyched for that.
I would love a Shamea versus Drew.
That would be great.
I personally, I loved this because I like,
seeing the behind the scenes on a radio show.
Yeah, same.
That was great.
And just watching them talk even after they were off the air, but it's still on the air.
Cool little, like, metaverse situation going on there.
But I thought that Shimea is perfect for something like this.
She can throw a little bit of shade.
She's in a position where she's promoting her music, promoting the show, promoting herself,
all on one radio station and still mixing it up and having a great time.
And you can tell everybody's genuinely enthralled to have her there.
She's just so much fun.
The other part is, like, I don't think the Drew stuff was planned.
I think that that just bubbled up out of nowhere,
which I love that even more.
Was it here that she said in her confessional?
No, I think it was a little bit later
where she was talking about how she doesn't remember
when she has beef with people because she was this one.
Was it this one?
That's pretty much what this was, I think.
I think it's just her immediately she was presented
with an opportunity to throw some shade.
She's like, I'm just going to throw this out there,
forgets about it.
And then Drew's all upset.
She's like, what did I do?
I don't know what the hell happened?
Well, Drew called her a lap dog.
That's where this is all coming from.
But I loved it.
this scene
we don't need it really
I guess it just sets up the event
but again it's Britt and Mike
just Britain Mike hanging out
in their bathroom in robes
and talking about this bare naked event
that's going on later
and that you know she's excited
that her insurance license is on hold
because now she has time to focus on bare naked
that's bullshit she's doing it for the show
like the whole thing
and we'll get to it when we get to the event
when she's talking about how
she wanted to launch this a couple of
years ago, but the timing wasn't right because of all the stuff going on with her agency and all
of her license stuff. And now that her license is on hold, this is the best time to do it. No, the best
time to do it is because you're on a TV show. Yeah. And you've seen other housewives be successful
when they're promoting their brands on the TV show. So that's what you wanted to do. At least just be
honest with us. It would be refreshing. That would be awesome if you said that. Then I'd a little notch
in the in the good column for old Brit over there. But everything else, it's like, I don't need you.
I just, every scene that she has
where nobody else is involved, whatever.
This was, and I think Bravo may be
editing it that way too, and they're realizing
what we're doing, because if we do get
a scene and we got one like last week and the week before,
they're getting shorter. They are very quick.
And I know that they're sitting there filming for a while.
And they're still like 35, 45 seconds, maybe tops, just
to set up the next scene. It's just
there's nothing there.
Like, I don't care at all.
Especially if you're going to have Fager back now, too.
like if she's going to stay on for next season,
which I don't know, I'm sure that they've had those talks,
but we don't know anything yet.
If that's what's going to happen, you don't leave Brit.
You really don't.
There is no reason to bring her back, even in a friend of capacity.
I agree. I agree.
Moving on from there, we get Charles and Angela at their flip house, which is a mess.
Yeah.
And I didn't understand if, like, are they showing the house like that?
Like, maybe that's why you're not getting offers.
I was confused with the contractor.
So was I.
Yeah, 99.9% it's going to sell that first day.
once I get all this stuff done, it doesn't look like it's done.
When was that conversation?
He said, give me three or four days, so I'm going to assume a week before maybe.
Okay, but that doesn't make sense either because they've lowered the price multiple times back to what she paid for the house.
Like, that's bad.
In this economy?
In this economy?
Are you kidding me?
Like, that's a nightmare.
I do appreciate the transparency that she says, like, yeah, I'm seven houses deep and two million in the whole.
Pretty stressful.
Great, thank you.
But what are we going to do to sell this house?
because why is there a tarp on the window?
No idea.
And, yeah, I really appreciate her transparency
because it's very clear that she just wants to move it.
She's probably got like two or three properties
that look kind of like that.
Maybe on the lower side,
maybe not going to sell as high as the other ones.
Just get rid of them.
Just sell them.
Get rid of the assets, get some capital back.
You're going to be okay.
Yeah.
That's Magoutar, our resident financial specialist or something.
I thought you were going to do a play on guru, but Maguder.
Magootroo.
Ooh, I like that.
I'll mess with that.
I'll come up with something good.
I'll go with something good.
I didn't understand the Charles and Angela's mom fight.
So she's cool with Charles now, not the mom.
I think the mom is, she said she loves Charles, like a son.
I don't, I didn't get any closure.
And now that she's explaining it, I thought she'd be mad at Charles, but she's not,
she's apologizing to Charles for how she handled it.
Yeah.
Is it because of what was said that Angelina needs to clean it up?
And she's like, oh, that was it and that lasted three years?
Are we not getting the whole story?
I think we're not getting the whole story, but I mean, I was just as confused as you were.
And it could also just be, for the sit down that she had with her mom last week, maybe something kind of struck with her.
I don't know.
Like, yeah, you know what?
I need to apologize for my role in this.
I was confused.
Because I don't know what her role was.
I don't know what Charles said.
Like, this is my mom and I didn't do enough to protect you.
type of situation and I let it go on
for too long. I don't know. I have no
idea. She says, I'm sorry for how it went down.
She's like, I was on his ass. I'm like, well,
what happened? I still don't know what happened.
Well, as we know, Angela's mom has
now passed away after last week. That's true.
So,
you know, hopefully they were able to reconcile.
That's the only thing I was thinking of. Oh, yeah. That's...
Hopefully they reconciled before...
That's pretty deep. Yeah. It seems like they're on the right
track. I am pretty deep. Yeah, you are
when you want to be. Get in there. It's hard to pull...
What do you have on your face? What's going on here?
I had a, like, a zit on my face.
Oh, you popped it?
Well, like a while ago, now it's just a scab.
This fucker hurts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You started waping at it, so I thought maybe it was like that.
I thought I got it.
And then I was like, oh, fuck, I'm, yep, I'm bleeding.
Yep.
Anyway, we don't stop for blood.
We don't stop.
We keep a fucking eye black on.
We play through the blood around here.
That's what we do.
Too tough to stop.

So they talk about Brits event coming up, and when she references 1998 Charles Oakley coming
out, I was like, let's, yeah.
Bring him out.
That would be great.
That would be pretty sick.
I don't think he has any intention of ever bringing him out on the show.
No.
No chance.
No, he's trying to stay as, like, neutral and non-combative as possible.
We've got some scenes from later this season where he does mix it up.
But one of them was this event.
Was this event.
And he didn't really do anything.
So, like, I'm not, I don't know if we'll ever get 98 Charles Oakley coming out.
Probably not.
But let's get to Brits event.
And she's already upset because the party's not set up.
She's walking around outside.
It says, and I never believe the time frames, this one I kind of did.
It's like five minutes to the event.
And there's nothing set up outside.
So, yeah, at first I figured this was the real time.
this was the event planner's job
and she did it wrong or he did it wrong.
I don't know who it was.
But as this party went on...
I have a theory.
It looked like shit.
And I'm betting that Brit probably cut corners
here and there and here and there
trying to be as cheap as possible for this event
just to show up for the show.
And this is what happens.
You start cutting corners like that.
You're going to get screwed.
I don't think she had an outside thing plan.
I think when she got there,
she's like, why is it not set up out here?
and then they scrambled to set it up.
I know.
That's all it was.
She's like, where's my branding?
Where's this?
This is supposed to be.
She's yelling at all the workers there.
I did see at one point the worker did look at her phone and like, I guess, the time.
So maybe they were running late?
I have no idea.
I don't know.
But it's Brit.
So at the same time, I'm like, ugh.
And watching the rest of the party, I'm like, no.
It doesn't make any sense.
It doesn't make any sense.
It was pretty strange to me.
But Kelly arrives, Shamea arrives.
And the whole goal here for Brit is that no one's been able to get to know me.
So now you're going to come to my neighborhood, my neck of the wood.
and, like, see how pretty he rolls.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are we golfing?
Are we all golfing?
I don't know about you.
This was awful for me.
Hard to watch, right?
Couldn't deal with this.
It was hard to watch, not because of the talent level.
You don't wear heels on a green?
You don't bring an iron to a green.
You don't bring a three wood.
And you do not take a divot out of the green.
Blasphemous.
Yeah.
I couldn't believe it.
You can already see people commenting on this.
Like, golf courses are a waste of resource.
versus blah, blah, blah.
I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to hear it.
If I show up, if I go to a country club and there's a divot in the middle of the green
because somebody was filming a housewife show, even in my position as a brab bro, I'm going to be pissed.
Yeah, respect the green.
You respect the green.
I couldn't believe they took a divot out of there.
Yeah.
We'll get right back to the rest of our episode.
But first, we have a few words from our friends over at Prolon.
And you've heard me and Steele talk about Prolon before.
And with summer coming up, maybe those health goals that you said a few months ago aren't working.
You've tried to lose weight, exercise more, eat better, but without a plan, they often fade.
That's where ProLon comes in.
It's five-day fasting-mimicking diet gives you a science-backed, structured approach to stay on track and see real results.
And now they're up in their game with their new next-gen-gen-five-day program, delivering the same science-backed benefits in a cleaner, more convenient, and more flavorful format.
Steele and I have tried this before.
We always get so excited every time that it comes around.
It's always nice to just have that as a plan.
you start feeling maybe not your best, maybe you're a little sluggish, maybe you're just not
seeing what you're working towards, especially with the summer coming back up.
Like I said, you want to look and feel your best, and Prolon is always going to help with their
fasting mimicking diet.
It's not like the normal fasting that you're used to.
You do actually get some soups.
You get a couple of really good things that taste awesome, and I'm sure Steele feels the same way.
Absolutely.
And as somebody that's done an actual water fast, this is infinitely better.
Like, I can't say it enough.

but everybody's arriving and Porsche gets
there and the resounding sentiment
as she's sitting there talking to another
guest of this event is
nobody knows what bare naked is
nobody knows what this is for there's been
speculation that it's a makeup brand
because bare naked makeup okay that makes sense
there's been a lot of speculation but nobody
knows why they're there
even our friends that was sitting there with Portia
that's what I think her name was yeah she's like I don't know
what this is so she's never talking
about it before. And now the show comes up. It's like, oh, yeah, my thing. I got to do my thing now.
So what do you think she did? Because she gave them all presents, quote unquote, which I have so
much to say about that whole shit. But did she just like buy these? Look, I know people do this
and other housewives have been accused of doing this. Did we go Timu? Did we go Alibaba?
I don't know. I don't know if she did the Whitney Rose method. Okay. Allegedly. Allegedly.
I know what we need.
We need Meredith.
Yeah.
We need Meredith to debunk it.
Yeah.
I don't think Meredith would care enough at this point with Britt.
That's the thing with Britt.
Like, we can make jokes here and there.
It really has no bearing on my enjoyment of this show.
No.
Unless she's on it too much, then I get annoyed.
Yeah, but other than that, she's somewhat irrelevant.
Yeah.
She's actually kind of like comedic relief at this point for something like this.
Yeah, but not intentionally.
Not intentionally.
She tried so hard to figure this out.
Yeah.
And it just fell so far.
flat. Yeah, the whole thing. God, this was awful.
The whole thing. So let's get to the actual event and
she starts it out with being nice to Angela
and you can tell Angela's a little
taken aback. She's like, you know,
her coming to this event, you know,
shows me she wants to move forward and she brought
Charles. So this is a step in the right direction.
I'm like, I still don't understand how
you're the victim
in all of this, but you know, whatever.
We get to the meal
portion of this event.
I'm, the whole fucking thing
is so confusing that it just shows
shoddy craftsmanship there was not effort put into this is a last minute oh shit let's have it at the
country club moment because explain this to me so the menus were for the cast only yes only yep
everything else was supposed to be small plates and shareables no it was just cocktails it wasn't
even small plates and share nobody was supposed to eat well so in my mind what happened was
you wanted it to look like everybody had this beautiful dinner but only the people
on film are going to have this beautiful dinner.
And then when everybody started to eat,
you started to panic because you didn't buy
enough food. Exactly.
That's, or you did buy enough food because the
country club's providing it or the caterer
provided it. And now you're going to have to foot
a much larger bill that you can't afford.
That's kind of where I was going as well.
It'd be back to the car shopping a couple of weeks ago.
Oh, with the Rolls Royce and the Lamborghini and all that?
I really want one of these. Well, you can't afford it.
Yeah. Maybe figure out what your license is doing.
Unbelievable. Yeah, that's the other
thing. Your license is in limbo. So stop
like shelling up the country club it's also a pre-event it's a pre-launch event what the fuck is that
i have 10 items that i can hand out to my friends i thought shiree was off the shell yeah she by
shiree that's what this feels like yeah it was it was so wild and yeah when she's going through
it i'm actually surprised and i think this is just how genuinely caught off guard she was i'm surprised
that she was that honest with the women that's fair about what was going on
Like the rest of the people here
I think she panicked at the pre yeah exactly
At the pre-event
We're not supposed to get menus
Just to you guys
That's crazy to say on shit on a hill
That's crazy to say to this group of women
That are gonna judge the hell out of you right away
I think you're right
I think she was completely caught off guard
But it's so fucking funny
At that moment once you realize what's happening
Then you go to the way to say look bring out whatever
I'll cover it like just don't maybe look stupid
Yeah like what is going on
And also it would have been worse
If this group of women got the food
and everybody else is looking around, like, why are they eating?
Standing around, there's no tape.
Like she said, I didn't want chairs in there.
No chairs, no food.
What is this?
For a pre-launch event.
That dinner table or brunch table would start looking like a craps table in a crowded casino.
Oh, yeah, everyone just like, standing around, like, what's going on here?
What are you eating?
What are you eating?
Can I smell your food?
I'm so hungry.
She hands out gifts to, again, the whole table.
The best part is they scan the room.
The production is doing are dirty, too, which is funny.
They're scanning the room.
paying attention. People are on their phones. No one cares about these gifts. They open the boxes.
They look like they were shipped. It looks like an Amazon box that you get at your door.
Open the box and it's this body suit. Right. So everyone feigns excitement. Like, oh, this is great.
Why give Angela an extra large? I don't even know if that was intentional. Obviously, you can say
it's intentional and I'm like 80% sure it was intentional. The way that this event has gone, it may be
completely wrong. It leaves room for speculation. I bet that she'd be.
bought these and they were probably like advertised as samples for shapeware and just threw it in
a box and she just threw each you get one size so somebody got a small somebody got an extra
small somebody got a medium so i think she was just like all right there's one of each here
let me know and she was genuine let me know if you guys need a different size i'm happy to get you
something else angela needs a different size that i that's true any other any other event
that would be like that shady as fun but in this one it's like she may not have known i only say
that just because Britt didn't say anything afterwards.
You're right.
You had Porsche make a comment about it, talk about how shady it was.
Angela didn't get too upset about it.
She held it back a little bit.
Just kind of like let it go by the wayside.
But Britt didn't shine in.
She said she needs a toothbrush for her big ass mouth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, in the confessional.
I just met at the time she didn't say anything.
You're right.
But Britt didn't have a follow up.
Britt didn't say, oh, yeah, you need that because of this or make a big bird
comment like she made before.
Oh, right.
She didn't do any of that.
She just sat there like head down.
Oh, we did.
going awful get to hear about her i don't know why but she took her whole staff from her insurance
agency to miami and let them all pick out a surgery it just sounds like a lie it sounds like a huge lie
that sounds like one of the most expensive trips you could ever take to miami yeah you're not
footing your whole staffs bill that's crazy and by staff do you mean your sisters do you pay for
your sister's plastic surgery yeah i forgot about that too like that's i don't know she's confusing
a shit man maybe that's where the uh the fallout for the sisters happened she took them to like
some sketchy place down in Miami to get
whatever surgery they want to, something went
horribly wrong, and now they're all mad. And that's why they're madder.
That actually is pretty funny
from a botch surgery.
But Brick goes over to talk to Angela and Charles.
How are you? Blah, blah, blah.
And Angela, this is my love Angela.
It doesn't waste any time. Charles doesn't have
a side baby. Everyone's kind of taken
aback, and she's like, well, I'm not one of Charles'
whores. That was never said.
No. No. She called
you a whore. Yep. She didn't say,
you're what of Charles.
Nobody said that Charles had horrors.
That either.
You're bringing this up.
Now, this is due info.
Charles says to, I don't mess with horrors.
Yep.
Thanks, Charles.
Thank you.
But inserting yourself is a wild move.
Yeah.
It was the weirdest passive aggressive back and forth, and I love how they both came out of it with.
We're good.
We're good.
This is just some good banter right now.
Just move on.
Just goofing around, guys.
Charles, completely unbottomed.
Completely stoic.
Like, no.
He put his hand up like this a couple of times.
like he just does not want you to talk to him
he wants to be cooking at home
yeah and cleaning yeah
that's what charles wants to have seen like mike try to approach him
oh man that would be the only other guy here
there's another husband here let's chat
no mike and charles would be a very funny interaction
really funny i actually wish that uh i wish that happened
yeah
but then you get drew and brit and they've got beef
and drew's like well we can chat and we can move on
and i love kelly chiming in she's like you should and tell the truth
when you do that and drew responding with
always you know me you are a known liar you lie a lot and you get caught and a little vindicated too
because they went through the whole cast talking about how much of a liar she is yeah how many times
do we see comments on there like drew doesn't lie about anything tell me when drew's not lying
like when i watch things online i go to ticot and there's like Atlanta things and it's different
podcast or it's somebody like in the content side talking about drew lying there are so many
comments it happened to us everybody lies on these shows drew doesn't drew's not the only one who
lies and tell me one time that she's lied.
She actually tells the truth for her than that.
Like, what?
No, she lies about weird shit.
She lies about really weird shit.
Like, being Michael Jordan's cousin, that's fucking weird.
Like, there's multiple lies that she's been caught in multiple times.
So don't tell me that she's not.
And the name Drew Nochio,
Chef's Kiss, well done, Shemia, once again.
But a lot went down at Angela's that we didn't see.
We just keep getting cut scenes of this scene.
I wish we saw the actual scene.
I think we've been getting cutscenes of this for like the whole season.
That's what I'm saying.
Why are we not there?
No, it's like a weird editing move.
I don't like it.
It doesn't make any sense.
But I guess Kelly and Drew got into it at Angela's because she called Shamea a lap dog or Drew is talking shade.
I don't know why they got into it.
I'm still very confused as to why they got into it.
We do know that she called Shimea a lap dog there.
Like that we get.
I think Kelly just asked for like clarification.
Something like that, I guess.
I don't know.
But Drew made the lap dog.
comment because she's claimed that Shimea took Drew's words and spun it to make it negative.
And that takes us back to her saying that she's going to pay for PJ's college with this
album that she's making with Dennis.
Yes.
Now, that was shady.
Yeah.
She was being shady.
Definitely being shady.
Correct.
So.
There's no other way to look at that.
No.
And Shemia knows that if that scene plays and she doesn't tell Portia,
now Portia's going to be pissed at her.
Uh-huh.
So that's not a lap dog move.
That's protecting your own ass.
Yeah.
And when you go back to that scene,
your comment afterwards, you might think
was, oh yeah, no, that just proves
I was being funny when you talk about getting
at least some snacks. No, it's stupid.
That's stupid. That's you getting caught, realizing
oh, shit, I just said this to Shemia, who's going to
go right back to Portia. Let me try
to make this funny. Nobody remembers the second comment.
No. Remember the first one? Yes. Yep.
And she wants
like a pat on the back because she's like, this is me.
I'm owning the lap dog comment
and this might be my favorite scene of Shemia
this entire season.
She's like, I don't want to listen to her
owning it. She can kiss my ass. And I'm not listening to that bullshit. And she goes,
roof, roo, kiss my motherfucking ass, bitch. I was like, that is so good. That was great.
And Drew was like, how old are we? She's like, I don't know. And in human years or dog years,
bitch, she was on fire. Yeah. I could have watched her clap back at Drew for another 20 minutes.
There's nothing better than somebody just completely turning around in their seat, not even
looking at you and still talking. Oh, yeah. Still talking shit and still landing.
So unbothered. You know what I didn't need? Britt to try to police the situation.
Yeah, like, what do you...
So you tried to make this, this she thought was a moment.
She thought she was having a moment, and it fell so flat.
She stands up, she's like, ladies, we are in a classy establishment.
If you want to do this, you can go have your side conversations outside, and nobody takes her seriously.
Both Shamee and Porsche, like, I'm not going outside.
Britt called it a country classic.
A country classic.
It was originally called the Country Club Classic.
But now it's a country classic.
Now it's just a country classic.
You don't even know where you are.
No, it's classy.
This is the country club that she parades around as like her big flex.
And now that she's got everybody there, what did you, first of all, what did you expect?
Any housewife group going into an establishment is not going to get along in that establishment.
It doesn't matter what franchise.
If you want to promote a brand that doesn't exist on a housewife show, allegedly.
And go somewhere nice, this is what's going to happen every single time.
You pick and choose your locations.
You don't get to police it.
No.
And also, nobody's going to listen to Brett.
You ever watched a housewife's franchise?
This happens.
Probably has.
This is what happens.
But moving on to Drew and John Rose, her attorney, who I thought was the new attorney
because her other attorney is getting whacked from the case, not what's going on.
She's going to sign her recording deal.
Yes.
Not a record deal.
I don't know what the difference is.
I think a recording deal is multiple.
Okay.
Look, credit where credit's due in this one, multiple people in our comments have said that
Drew's album is pretty solid.
She's signing a multi-record deal.
or a recording deal, we don't know what that means, admittedly, we think we do.
Yep.
Credit, yeah, great.
You can give him credit, yeah.
It doesn't take away from her being annoying.
Yeah, because...
Incredibly annoying.
Even in this scene, she's like, oh...
First thing she said when she walked in the room.
Dennis sent over a bottle.
Nyeck.
Come on.
Stop it.
I know what you're doing.
I know.
And the craziest part, the absolute craziest, most wild part about this whole thing is, you know what?
I signed this, Dennis and I
should probably clear the air. You know what
a good time for that is? In the
attorney's office, when you're about to
sign the deal, let's FaceTime Dennis and really
clear this up. He said some shady shit.
That's ludicrous. That's insane.
What are you talking about? This should be cleared
up way before you get there. Wasn't the last thing that we heard
and we knew that he was credited on the
album anyway? They weren't working together. They weren't
going to work together anymore. And he wasn't going to be able to
be able to join up. He wants to get on Porsche's good side.
No, everybody's lying. Everyone is.
Like, I, not only do I
really care anymore because this has gone on for so
long. Yeah. It's impossible
to figure out who's telling the truth because none of them really are.
Dennis is lying. Dennis is lying to Portia.
He's probably lying to Drew.
He's lying to everybody.
Portia's lying by omission.
Yeah, she's just refusing to talk about it.
Whether she has a lot going on and she doesn't feel like dealing with us is a different
thing. But it's also just become a huge storyline that we're not getting
anything from. No.
We do get one thing from this scene.
I was infuriated with how this ended.
But her reservations about Dennis is apparently people are spreading a rumor that in exchange for his services, she offered him sex.
I'm going to clear this up real quick.
All right.
Hey, Dennis, you told Portia I made a pass at you according to other people and that you're giving me your services in exchange for sex.
I don't know why you listen to that.
Good enough for me.
Clear it up.
Glad we had this conversation.
I feel so much better.
I trust him.
I trust him.
That makes a lot of sense.
This whole thing makes a lot of sense.
What did that take?
20 seconds?
Wow.
Nice due diligence.
Thanks guys.
In the fucking attorney's office
before you sign the shit.
That makes a whole lot of sense.
But hey, air is cleared.
Let's celebrate everybody.
But you know what?
This just goes to show me.
Portion and I really need to sit down.
Are you fucking kidding me?
This is the umpteenth time that we've said this line.
What the hell?
You went to fucking Nashville.
Uninvited.
Yeah.
Had a chance to talk to her there.
Portia didn't want to talk to you.
You've had 15 chances to sit down at dinner.
Yep.
You've canceled.
She's canceled.
We're all over them.
Now's not the right time.
We are done with all of this.
We don't care anymore.
We're not getting anything from either of you.
Let's move on and act like this never happens.
Yeah.
Love of God, please.
And nobody would give a shit.
Yep.
And the show would continue forward.
Mm-hmm.

Oh, hi, buddy.
Who's the best you are?
I wish I could spend all day with you instead.
Uh, Dave, you're off mute.
Hey, happens to the best of us.
Enjoy some goldfish cheddar crackers.
Goldfish have short memories.
Be like goldfish.
Let's end this bad boy because we get the return of Fadra.
And we've been getting this teased for a long time.
I'm stoked that Phaedra's back.
There's been some people that try to throw shade.
They're like, what do you like, what do you like about Fadra?
It's like, just shut up and just enjoy the show.
I don't understand people who don't like Fadra.
I mean, look, if you don't like her because of what she did,
yeah, that's fair.
That's fair.
Because it is pretty insane.
She spread that rumor that candy, wanted to drug Portia,
drag her into her sex dungeon.
Bad, right?
Bad on all counts.
So if that's why you don't like her, then that kind of understand.
But if you think that she's not entertaining.
you're just not right.
It's just simply not true.
It was such a funny, like,
and I know it's like the 12th episode, I think.
Just have this sit down with Portia,
it felt like what we did in the first episode.
Episode with Shemia, right?
Yeah, because you get the full reintroduction of Fager.
First, I'm glad they addressed it.
Instead of just like, she's back.
Don't talk about it.
Yeah.
Glad they talked about it right out of the gate.
Snuck in there a few times.
A couple of NeNeNeNe Leaks.
I know.
I saw that.
I'm bringing to the wall.
A lot of people are saying it.
A lot of people are saying it.
Not just us.
We shall see.
If I was a betting man,
you may get a similar scene next season with Nini.
Or if they really want to,
really want to do this right?
Last episode, last two minutes,
Nini walks in, end the season.
Cliffhanging the season with Nini.
Wow.
Right?
Not a reality TV cliffhanger.
A reality TV season long cliffhanger.
Off season long cliffhanger.
that's how you get people to come back for next season i don't think they're going to do that they
it would work it would work it would definitely work it would i think it's in the budget though it would
uh that's true maybe it'll pay a lot for that too yeah that's a good point it's a good point but
we get a little update on fadro she is uh currently hooking up with a 30 year old love to hear it
and her and portion are obviously really tight they've had their ups and downs but they're in a
good place and i love her breakdown of the group this could potentially
be problematic.
You would think.
Ever so slightly with her little people conversation.
It was cool until, you know.
Just kept going.
Yeah, it just could have stopped that at any point.
It was bad out of the gate.
But when you say, I just want to like scoop up and put her in my pocket, I was like,
that's really disrespectful to little people.
Yeah.
Because she, like, it wasn't just Kelly.
She just means like, yeah.
Because when you show the Christmas party, Christmas party in which you've employed little
people to work.
And then finishize them.
Yeah.
It's a little strange.
Not great.
Especially that, you know, you started the scene off apologizing for saying some dumb shit.
Not awesome.
Not awesome.
So we move on from that.
And she's just giving a rundown about the group, which I like.
I love how it's like we've got Porsche explaining basically who's on the cast.
Yep.
Here we go.
Here's who's on the cast.
We're going to go through.
She said that she didn't know half of them and yet knew every single one of them.
She knows all of it, all of them.
Yeah.
I don't know how well she knows them.
But she, why is she so good, like right out of the gate?
She's like, oh, someone told me Charles was married.
I'm like, ooh, shit, this is going to be fun.
And she goes through everybody that's going on the Grenada trip because she gets invited.
So you've got strawberry shortcake on steroids, Kelly.
Drew Zilla, our very fluid friend.
You've got Edy Britt, woman about town.
I think that it would have been really.
It would have been way bad.
or Brit Eaddy, more like Brit Easy.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
That's what I...
E.M. Fager.
That's where I would have got.
She's got some notes.
I will.
I'll try.
You got Sweet Shemia and then the secret wife of Charles Oakley.
That one was really funny.
That was good.
That's good.
So I'm stoked Fager's back.
I think that she's going to help end this season on a high note.
There's probably only three episodes after this?
Three plus reunion.
So it's going to be probably two in Grenada and then one at home.
I don't know.
We like to do.
a three-parter this past year.
A lot of three-parter trips to end the season,
which is dumb.
We have, yeah.
Let's get some questions, though.
First one up here from Joanne Beach.
Geez, underwhelmed.
You guys?
This one I wasn't.
Last week, yeah.
It's still slower, but I like it.
Last week was the only one that was like underwhelming.
This, again, it's, you know, it's not awesome.
It's not crazy.
It's just.
It's good.
Yeah.
Easy watch.
Oh, another person not impressed.
Brandon. ATL, our own Atlanta Brandon.
Oh, Atlanta Brandon.
Why does this season suck so bad?
Damn, look.
Everyone's entitled their own opinion.
From Robin's Little Nest,
we know Portia isn't showing her real authentic life.
Thoughts on if Fager will show any.
I don't know, because what Fager can get away with
is throwing good shade.
Yeah, and it's also tough having her come in for, like,
the last three or four episodes.
You can't really expect her to show too much of her life.
She's just there to mix it up.
Yeah, and I'm okay with that.
Yeah.
And last one here from Give Regis.
Are you excited to have Fager back?
She was so good on the other shows like Trader Season 2.
Yeah, which gives me more reason to be excited.
And it's not like she's going to save the season or anything because the season was already fine.
It's just nice to have her back.
It's always nice to have a familiar face.
And also, like, basing it on recent performances, she's been solid.
She's been really good on other shows.
So, yeah, I think she's a welcome edition.
And like you said, she's not here to save the season.
She's just here to contribute a little bit more.
And it's been a solid season.
So maybe she can take it up a notch to end it.
And on a good note, take us into next year.
Oh, yeah.
But, yeah, that's all I got.
You got anything else?
Nope.
That's our show.
Bros. got to go.
